Yes, please.

It's in NASM; what're you using?

A Forth cross compiler, and then it generates ELF directly. The cross
compiler produces a system that can link to shared libraries, and from
then on it self compiles. VFX Forth for Linux is based on the standard
VFX Forth source tree.

Since some compilers do "whole program optimisation" they are doing some of what would often be considered part of the compilation phase after doing some of what would normally be considered the linking phase, so yes I did mention both phases because the distinction is not always as clear cut as one might expect and such implementations would find it easiest to do what I suggested above. ...
